Re: Project "Irvin"
Looks killer man, is that last pic ride height? Also are you gonna paint the bottom of the gate white or leave it red? You knocked this thing out of the park, started and finished before me hahaha. Guess I gotta get my stuff finished for this parkway cruise coming up

Very close to ride height, the gate originally didn't have any white on it so I put it back the way it was. Could been a mess up by gm back then. I was planning on taking to myrtle beach but decided to put a extra week in to it for auto fair and planning on driving march 8th. But definitely ready for parkway ride after that. Found last night oil pan is leaking on passenger side so I am hoping I don't have to drop pan.

They were washed with a soft tire brush and simple green then wiped down with baby oil. Only thing I dyed was seat belts

No sir , been working and staying out late with work when home. I actually thought about using my 7mag with a ballistic tip but only time the little ****er is out is at night. Tried running it over at 1 this morning with my dodge 5500 but oak tree was in way Lol
Thanks Eric, I insured heavily and tagged it today so I'm planning on a little trip down the road this weekend

I made this pic and posted on Facebook and the wife said I needed to remove it so people wouldn't think I had my daughter shooting someone's pet. Lol

Re: Project "Irvin"
I like the pic. Of course I'm not politically correct.

If you love your cat as much as I love this truck, Keep it home.

Re: Project "Irvin"
I thought I'd share this video, my engine builder built the engine in this car and regularly does all work to it.

Hoping to drive tomorrow for first time, have a few loose ends to address in morning. Found a small oil leak today and pulled it back in and hoping I fixed it then found a loose brake line and fixed it as well. So praying that I got it squared away!

Yes sir Anthony, that moose tang is nasty!!! No pro charger for Irvin, maybe one day on another but not this one...if I could have about 3 more trucks like your super it might would get one. Lol

Thank you both!
